From Trajan’s Column, completed in 113 AD, to the statue of Christopher Columbus in Easton, Pennsylvania, monuments and memorials have been a significant element of celebration and honor throughout history (Source B). Though monuments are typically meant as a symbol of honor, recent controversy over statues dedicated to Confederate leaders and generals has sparked the debate over how to choose subjects to memorialize, and the actual development of these memorials.

He was promoted to lieutenant general and began service in the colonies under Major General Henry Clinton. When the British army was retreating to Yorktown, George Washington was marching his troops down from the north. The French Navy, having defeated the British Navy, started to move to the coast near Yorktown, as well. The British army was now surrounded at Yorktown.

President Trump took to Twitter back in August to proclaim his dissatisfaction with the country. The topic was the removal of Confederate statues. He claimed that they are “beautiful monuments to our history and culture.” Well, it wouldn’t be the first time that he was wrong. The fact that president trump is blatantly endorsing a horribly racist part of our nation's history shows a lot about him as not only a person but as a president. Confederate statues and monuments need to be removed all throughout the USA because they are strongly linked to racism. People may argue that the flag and monuments aren’t about racism because “that isn’t what the war was about”

The Confederate States of America, also known as the confederacy was a group of 11 Southern states that seceded from the Union in 1860. The desire to preserve the institution of slavery was motivation for secession and primary cause of the American Civil War. A confederate statue was often put in place of honor Confederate leaders, soldiers or states.

As of today, there are about 1,503 Confederate symbols across the country. This ranges from schools,

The Statue of Liberty is one of the most well know symbols of the United States, across the world. For this reason I chose to analyze the dramatic effect it creates, and what methods it implores to invent this "universal" meaning. It is one of the strongest visual representations of the ideals which our country is founded upon. I intend to defend the argument that the Statue of Liberty posses the power of persuading human thought using the terms encompassed in Kenneth Burke's Pentad, shaping the definition of "America" for people through out the world.

When examining and comparing The Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius and Justinian as world conqueror it is important to examine the iconography and visual motifs of both pieces before comparing and contrasting them.

There are few objects that can be compared to the significance of the figure known as the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the greatest works of its time and still stands today as a meaningful entity of independence to the world. The statue is a great tribute to the concept of global freedom that had its roots in America. It was created to display the worldwide objective of peace and tranquility.

In addition, it represents the ideas that the United States was built upon and those that the people have lived by to this very day. Its most paramount features in its role through American history are its
